As you begin to develop VR and AR experiences for L&D, it’s
important to consider how people interact with the content in your digital
world. And as these mediums continue to grow and evolve, so too will your
options for interfacing with them. If you’re developing VR or AR content and
looking to take your learning experiences to another level, it’s worth
investigating an unexpected way to interact with your content: gesture control
devices.

In this session, you’ll learn about three technologies for
incorporating gesture control into your VR and AR experiences: the Myo armband,
the Bird wearable by MUV Interactive, and the Oculus Touch motion tracked
controllers. You’ll take a closer look at the functionality and features of these
technologies, discuss how gesture control can enhance your AR and VR content,
and explore the possibilities for integrating them into the learning
experiences you design and develop.

In
this session, you will learn:

The primary functions and features of Myo,
Bird, and Oculus Touch

About real-world examples of gesture
control devices used in learning solutions

How to identify opportunities for
incorporating gesture control devices into your learning solutions

What impacts the feasibility for
implementing gesture control devices

Audience:Novice to intermediate designers,
developers, and managers.

Technology
discussed in this session:Myo armband, Bird by MUV Interactive, and Oculus
